The truth is, if IJ management board actually just ignored that
statement, this would probably fade away very fast. But now that
they are ardently pursuing this lawsuit, it now becomes a matter of
public record.
Most people (readers) would just glance through it and that
statement probably would not imprint itself into their memories.
Now with this thing blown up, everytime someone sees an IJ girl,
immediately that statement will come to mind.
The IJ management board kinda kicked themselves in the arse.
